Her final action in the war was her assistance in the recapture of Borneo from the Japanese by bombarding their positions before allied landings.Īfter the war, the ship was used to ship back home former prisoners-of-war before undergoing a massive refit from May 1946 until mid-1948. For the rest of the war, she mostly took part in convoy escort with some more exciting moments such as Operation Crimson in April and May 1944. Tromp was quickly patched up and brought back into service in May 1942. The opening of the war in the Pacific started badly for Tromp, being hit eleven times by the Japanese destroyers Asashio while only being able to score two hits on her and Oshio. Later that year, she was used to help research the missing HMAS Sydney (which turned out to have been sunk by the German raider Kormoran). Due to the rising concerns about war with Japan, tensions increased in the region, and in November 1941, Tromp was charged to look for Vichy France merchant ships. Tromp was laid down in January 1936, launched in May 1937, and commissioned in August 1938.Īt the start of World War II, the ship was primarily deployed in patrols and escort duties as part of the Netherlands East Indies Squadron. The Tromp-class was a pair of flotilla leaders (Tromp and Jacob van Heemskerck), intended to lead a squadron of destroyers. After that, with the release of Update 0.11.11., she will become available for 238 000 Coal. She will cost up to 38 450 doubloons but you can get a discount by spending free XP with the maximum 50% discount requiring 1 000 000 free XP. When it comes to Tromp, the ship will be available at first during a special event. My little finger tells me that once we get a Dutch destroyer line, they will also get airstrikes but we aren’t there yet. It had to arrive at some point, we are getting our first destroyer able to use the Dutch airstrikes.
